Response
• Disruption to wetland and peat bogs should be minimised
• Re-use of excavated peat should be maximised.
• Forest removal and generation of forest waste should be minimised.
• Impacts on existing groundwater abstractions should be avoided or reduced to
acceptable levels.
• Engineering activities near the water environment should be fully justified and
constructed according to environmental best practice methods.
• Details of any required water abstraction should be provided.
• Pollution prevention measures should be fully documented and adopted.
• Details of material borrow areas should be provided.
• Flood risk should be assessed.
